"Some Kind Of Trouble"

Birgitta

"Some Kind Of Trouble"

I was coming home yesterday from an appointment downtown,
and happened to look over and see this place. It was completely
abandoned, along with garages, a barn and cars. Didn’t go in, (yet..heh) but I got a few good shots from the front. I added the flood..(to go with the title.)

CS3/Corel/handheld/Samsung/HDR
I can’t even begin to list all of the things I did to this.
One filter conversion to the next applying and painting certain areas with the saturation brush, then repeating the process +
overlays & more fine tuning! Thanks for checking it out. :)


Special thanks to Kevin Kroeker for being a major inspiration with HDR. You can check out some of his truly amazing HDR work here: click me!

    Great piece, the tones are fantastic, very deep. Good work with the filters and treatments. That is some kind of trouble you went to. Well done.

    Thank you all! And yes Alexia, it was a LOT of trouble!!
    But as usual, afterwards, I wipe the beads of sweat from my face
    with my trembling hand and breathe a heavy sigh of relief that it’s over…haa.
    Thanks for stopping in. :)

    what I particularly like about this is the brightness of the windows, as though something non-corporeal is actually at home!!! Very spooky.

    Great work. Love the flood effect. Once my parents refused to leave their home in a flood. I saw the national guard plucking them off the roof on a national news broadcast. I was so embarrassed. People kept calling to tell me they saw my parents being rescued. The whole broadcast was about dumb asses that refuse to leave their homes during natural disasters. Sorry to ramble, but this image just brought back a horrible memory. Ha Ha. Did I remember to say this is a great work?
